This article uses the Estimated Wins Produced statistic created by sports economist David Berri. Average players produce 0.100 Estimated Wins per 48 minutes (Est.WP48) because a team of average players form a team with a 0.500 winning percentage. Star players produce +0.200 Est.WP48 and great players produce +0.300 Est.WP48. See the HEAT Produced Page for more information.

Game Notes

Once again, Allen was the most productive player in a HEAT preseason game. He produced 0.2 est. wins in 26.2 minutes (0.387 est.WP48) from 15 points on 64% shooting efficiency with 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 turnover. Jamal Crawford (0.153 est.WP48) and Willie Green (-0.232 est.WP48) only combined to produce an est. -0.004 wins at shooting guard for the Clippers while Allen and Dwyane Wade (0.116 est.WP48) combined to produce an est. 0.3 wins.

Wade struggled offensively with just 5 points on 22% shooting, 2 assists and 2 turnovers, but his defense lifted his production to the level of an average SG in the game thanks to 4 defensive boards, 4 steals, 2 blocks and 4 fouls. His Win Score on offense was -6 but his Win Score on defense was +5.

While the HEAT veteran guards had a productive game, the young guards struggled. Norris Cole only produced -0.008 est.WP48 and Terrel Harris was the second-least productive HEAT player in the game with -0.248 est.WP48. As Cole continues to play himself out of the rotation, Harris may be playing himself off the roster.

LeBron was the second-most productive player in the game with 0.2 est. wins produced in 26.2 minutes (0.363 est.WP48) from 20 points on 55% shooting efficiency with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers, 1 steal and only 1 foul. Blake Griffin was no match for LeBron, despite producing 19 points and 8 rebounds. His 6 turnovers and 4 fouls in 31.6 minutes reduced his overall production to -0.070 est.WP48.

The least productive HEAT player in the game was Josh Harrellson. Jorts produced -0.1 est. wins in 11.3 minutes (-0.251 est.WP48) from just 4 points on 25% shooting with no steals or blocks but 3 fouls. The most productive young big man on the HEAT roster after 2 preseason games is Robert Dozier. The last pick of the 2009 draft produced 0.350 est.WP48 in 9.2 minutes against the Clippers after producing 0.100 est.WP48 against the Hawks.
